I am in a whiny kind of mood. I feel like stomping my feet and making the whole world give me back that hour that daylight savings took from me. I love that it is light later, blah, blah, blah, but I really am just tired. I am one of those people who when their alarm goes off, they think, “well if it were three days ago, it would be 4:00 AM instead of 5:00 AM.” My husband tells me to let it go, but then I just get that Frozen song stuck in my head. Great. Another thing to complain about….
Also, my neck hurts. I got hit by a car while riding my bicycle about 20 years ago. I’m guessing the neck pain should be going away aaaaaaannnnnyyy day now, right?
Also, it should be 6:56 PM right now, but as I mentioned earlier, someone took an hour from me, so now I have to write this slice in the next hour because I am on the west coast time zone so I have to post this by 9:00. Wah, wah, wah.
I have little people clamoring around me who are also tired and should be put to bed so that I can have some wine with my whine….hey maybe things are looking up?
I can at least make this whining count as a workout, right? Because if not, I have another thing to whine about…
Sometimes we just need to! :0)

I’m whining a litt;e about the time change too. I do OK in the mooring (I’m a morning person) but my eyes have been drooping on the drive home. I wish we would just pick one time and keep it all year.

Love this! I love your voice here, and it’s SO relatable. Love the line “I got hit by a car 20 years ago…” It so clearly draws on the idea of how on a day where you want to whine, you can LITERALLY find any reason to do it 🙂 Just love this.

I think everyone is a little tired and grumpy this week! That time change thing has been hard. At my school, we are taking the PARCC test as well. More fun!

I am completely enamored with you. This is the most honest and funny post I’ve read today! Yay you. And I have to say I feel you. I just hate that “they” take an hour from me each spring. The travesty!
Hang tough and I hope spring break approacheth for you.

So… I’m a day late getting to this post but it is because they took away an hour of which. First, thanks for a great laugh! Second, I think you might like my time change whine written in the fashion of Dr. Seuss. http://www.alicenine.net/change-the-clock (an older post).
